Two people were behind bars Monday after a burglary attempt turned violent.

Kosciusko County sheriff's deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call about "shots fired" at 3:27 p.m. Friday in the 800 block of East Main Street (Indiana 14) in Silver Lake. When they got there, they found the residents next to the road with a BB gun, broken rolls of coins and a pool of blood, according to a written statement from the sheriff's department.

Billy Sloan and Sue Drake told deputies that they came home from shopping and that Sloan was forced down to the floor by a man inside, racking a shotgun. Drake apparently then came inside and beat the robber in the back of the head with a large salt and pepper shaker as the men wrestled over control of the shotgun.

Before Sloan got control of the gun, it discharged twice, police said. Then Sloan chased the burglary suspect out of the home. Sloan told deputies that the man pulled out a handgun as he was running, at which point Sloan fired the 12-gauge shotgun and hit the suspect's legs.

The suspect then crawled into an arriving pickup truck driven by a woman and began to flee, but not before Sloan shot out the rear passenger side tire with the shotgun.

A short time later, deputies were told about someone with an apparent gunshot wound at an address in the 5100 block of West Corly's Lane at Diamond Lake.

Silver Lake and sheriff's department officers and detectives located Aaron Michael Rhoades, 28, of Kosciusko County Road 900 East in Pierceton, bleeding from a head wound and with a gunshot wound to his legs, the statement said.

Officers also located the "get-away" driver, identified as Karen Gail Prater, 34, of South Indiana 13, Claypool.

Rhoades was released Saturday afternoon from a Fort Wayne hospital and was transported to the Kosciusko County Jail.

The sheriff's department said Rhoades allegedly confessed to detectives about this case as well as a previous robbery of prescription medication at the same residence on Nov. 14.

He was preliminarily charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of robbery (a felony with injury and a felony with a weapon) and one count of D felony theft. His bond was set at $200,000 by the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's Office.

The sheriff's department said Prater also confessed to her involvement. She was preliminarily charged with aiding, abetting and inducing burglary, as well as driving while suspended. Her bond was set at $50,000.
